    Best soil for container pond/water garden

    I used garden soil in one of the containers, but just received the aqua soil today. The first one did cloud the water a bit, but I don't care about that too much. I saw different birds are drinking from it, so it works in the way it should, in my opinion.

    A heavily rainy day again - it will rain a bit tomorrow, and then we should have at least 10 dry days, huuuu. It rained so much that even the lawn becomes like a huge sponge. I didn't do anything in the garden, just quickly removed a bit weeds in the morning when I opened the chicken coops. I...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Transplanted a lot of young plants - the hoop tunnel is now full, and one raised bed is also full. Now, only warmth-loving plants and some just germinated seedlings are still sitting in the greenhouse.

    Phaedra's Adventure

    All rain barrels were fully replenished, and the rain stopped. The residents of this container garden all checked in. I might make some minor changes tomorrow, but basically, the final version won't go too far from this. I enjoy corners where plants are growing nicely. A well...

    Phaedra's Adventure

    Before the thunderstorm arrives, I made a bit more progress on the container garden. Different shape containers makes it easy to recognize what's growing inside. I also transplanted many young plants for my cut flowers. After the first rain front, plants look happy. Same for the border bed -...

    Phaedra's Adventure

    Once we have closed a small spot for quails, unfortunately, some weasels came and killed half of them. The spot became a sickbay for hens later, until we built the runs with roof and better predator protections. This year, we will build a sickbay between two runs. The old sickbay was knocked...

    Coffee

    I had my coffee outside the grey house area this morning, and then was bitten by a mosquito or something - one of the things I don't appreciate for warmer days. :P Now I want the second coffee, but it's almost 5pm, need to wait until tomorrow, sigh.

    Phaedra's Adventure

    I saw a healthy potted Delphinium (dark purple) in Aldi yesterday, and it costs just 6 Euros. Of course, I brought one back and immediately gave it some water and a few drops of seaweed extract. It's pretty tall, but the pot is relatively small. To examine it closely, I removed all lower and...
